Rainy morning

Well, the forecast was for rain this morning, and when I went out to fetch the paper the big drops were just starting.

So, I'm feeling rather unmotivated about going for morning walkies, which means there's some time, and a big bucket of cooked pumpkin in the refrigerator. So:

SVR Pumpkin Muffins!

Heat oven to 375°F.

Get out the mixing bowl. Let's see, now:

A pound or so of previously-cooked pumpkin.2-3 eggs.A goodly drizzle of flax-seed oil.A slosh of milk.A moderate scoop of sugar... maybe 1/4 cup.Ground cloves... about half again as much as seems prudent.Plenty of cinnamon.A fair dab of minced ginger.

Mix well.

Add all-purpose baking mix* until a muffin-batter consistency is attained.

Update: Left out the sugar initially. Also left out the sugar in the actual muffins I made this morning. I knew they didn't taste quite right! If you didn't grow super-extra-sweet pumpkins, don't forget the sugar. On the upside... they do taste OK, and they're probably better for me this way. Still, I think I'll eat the remaining ones with a bit of honey drizzled on.
